Iʼve started up iTunes, now what?
Organizing Your Music
Now is a good time to get your library organized. As it grows, it will generally be more
difficult to turn back and retag all of your music. Take the opportunity to properly label all of
your music now.
Here are some tips to help you organize your music library.
•
Tag the title of the song
•
Tag the artist
•
Tag the album
•
Tag the year (if you donʼt know what year the album was released, click on the iTunes
store link next to the artist or album title and you should be forwarded to the albumʼs
page in iTunes store where you can check for the albumʼs release date. This will only
work if you have an iTunes store account. (Read here to learn how to get one.)
•
Fill in a genre (if youʼre not sure of the genre, check the iTunes store)
•
Rate the song
iTunes 8 has a built-in feature “Get CD Track Names” to help you retrieve song titles and
album information if the songs were imported from a music CD. Check out this help video
from Apple to learn more.
Why do I need to organize my music?
•
It will be easier to search for the songs you want to listen to

Organized music takes advantage of Smart Playlists i.e. automatically create playlists
based on specific artists, genre, year)
•

•

It helps Genius to find out more about the song youʼre listening to and retrieve
information about similar songs you might like to hear
•
Song information is used when utilizing plugins like Last.fm scrobblers, Amazon Album
Art widget or TunesTEXT
